66/365 (07/03)
A tiny visitor at the water’s edge: Europe’s smallest bird caught in a rare moment of stillness during a morning bath. Capturing this bird is a challenge; they are high-energy, restless spirits that rarely stay still for more than a second. I love the way the vibrant crest—the "fire"—contrasts with the muted, mossy tones of the forest floor. This 365 project continues to reward the simple act of stopping and looking closely at the details right under our noses.
I’m leaning towards this being a Firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla), but these tiny "kinglets" are notoriously difficult to tell apart from their Goldcrest cousins in the field. If any birders out there can confirm the ID, please do let me know in the comments! #365 #365project
This 365 project is about slowing down and paying attention.
Training my eye to see both the obvious and the overlooked.
Finding photographs in everyday moments, not just destinations.
